The Becoming
When I can’t change the government I change myself When the news is bad I create good news for someone When “they” profit off our fear Our disconnection I connect I turn “them” off I go to the library To the woods To places that don’t charge me to exist I invite a friend for tea I don’t worry about the state of my house as much I refuse the prison of perfection And choose the possible The imperfect The progress The journey The becoming

The Narrative Gap, as coined by Lisa Sharon Harper, is the distance between the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, including how we got here and what it will take to make things right. In our world today, competing narratives vie for our loyalty, dividing society and the church, therefore making justice impossible. Our mission is help communities shrink the narrative gap, by identifying core issues and building community capacity so they might work toward common solutions for a just world. Here on the Freedom Road Substack, we can converse together on ways to shrink that narrative gap and help ensure everyones’ stories are told.
